yeah I remember my dad being really pissed off when I was a kid that he couldn’t buy his own phone, had to rent from ATT or whatever it was called then. Now you can’t hardly find those phones although they were really good phones that would’ve probably lasted 100 years+. Soon no one will have a landline because of the telemarketers ruining it for everyone and the government not doing anything about it. I really should give mine up along with my flip phone but I just ignore the telemarketers and tell myself the flip phone is for emergencies! LOL!
My theory is anytime a company pisses off customers it eventually bites them in the butt.
